The Chadian government is seeking increased international aid to support more than one million Sudanese refugees and the communities hosting them. The Chadian delegation made the appeal at a meeting in Geneva organised by Switzerland and the UN secretary-general’s personal envoy, according to Chad’s foreign ministry.
The Chadian government on Wednesday asked the international community to urgently increase humanitarian aid for more than one million Sudanese refugees and the communities hosting them. The Chadian delegation made the request at a meeting organised in Geneva on the conflict in Sudan, according to the official information website of Chad’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
N’Djamena believes the influx of refugees is placing constant pressure on local resources. The aid requested should benefit both displaced people and host populations, the Chadian delegation said, praising the solidarity of these communities.
The meeting brought together representatives of Sudan’s neighbouring countries, permanent members of the Security Council, and the African Union, the European Union, IGAD and the League of Arab States. According to the UN, 1.3 million Sudanese refugees have taken refuge in Chad since the war between the regular army and the Rapid Support Forces began in April 2023.
